TDD Planning & Testing FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill help with regression testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it establishes a 'Snapshot' phase to capture baseline test results and includes a final 'Close Out' phase to verify that no regressions were introduced before merging work.

Question 2

What is the main benefit of this planning skill?

Accepted Answer

It enforces a structured TDD workflow, ensuring that every feature is defined and tested before implementation, which reduces bugs and improves documentation via automated logs.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the WIP directory in the test structure?

Accepted Answer

The WIP (Work-In-Progress) directory isolates new, failing tests during development, allowing for targeted execution without affecting the stability of the main test suite.

Question 4

When should I use a visual demo instead of an automated test?

Accepted Answer

Visual demos should be used for features requiring human inspection, such as terminal color output, interactive prompts, or any behavior that cannot be reduced to a boolean pass/fail result.

Question 5

How does it test bash scripts using Vitest?

Accepted Answer

The skill uses a bash helper to source shell scripts and execute functions within a TypeScript environment, allowing Vitest to perform assertions on outputs, exit codes, and logic.
